Netflix initiated its trial crackdown on password sharing in Latin America before extending the new rules to Canada, New Zealand, Portugal, and Spain in February. In the United States, subscribers are now required to pay an additional $8 per month for viewers accessing the account from outside the primary household. However, users can still enjoy Netflix content while away from home. Netflix offers the option to transfer an existing profile to a new account, allowing users to retain all their preferences and data.
As Netflix continues to adapt its policies to curb unauthorized account sharing, the recent surge in new sign-ups suggests that the company’s strategy is gaining traction. It remains to be seen how these changes will ultimately impact Netflix’s overall performance and user base, which will become clearer with the upcoming earnings report.
